Vámonos Pa'l Monte at Mural Arts Philadelphia

A processional performance created by artist Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz and Mural Arts Philadelphia, celebrating Puerto Rican culture, resilience, and migration stories. The procession starts in Center City and concludes in Northeast Philadelphia, moving through a route that shifts from civic and colonial symbolism to neighborhood-centered communal affirmation. Custom wardrobe designed by Kristina Tollefson draws from Puerto Rico's landscapes, ecology, and history woven with Philadelphia's own histories. The project was informed by two years of field research and collaboration with Norris Square Neighborhood Project and Taller Puertorriqueño.
